Thread: Another New Unit - What is it?

  1. #1

    Default Another New Unit - What is it?

    Ok, here is another one.

    I'll ask the same questions:
    1. What is the unit name?
    2. What faction does the unit belong to?
    3. What artist modelled and skinned the unit? (harder, but some folks may have some guesses)

    Decided to keep changing some things though in the way we'll present it to you. You get it all correct and you can see the whole thing:

    I am almost sure that this must be the Getai Lesser General, bit I am really not sure who did this amazing job.

    I will say SpiritofRob. I will start to appreciate more the art this guys do with models.


    Thanks and I hope it is correct =)

    I am guessing it is either a getai, galatian or possibly(but not likely) a celtic unit.

    Well the Galatains are based heavily on teh Celtic units, so it may be either of them, or neither.

    I am going to say a Galatian Swordsmen, Seleukids, SpiritofRob

    Also, is this a reskin or an entirely new unit, Teleklos?

    My guess is some sort of Iberian unit, a heavy swordsman.

    Either that, or a Casse unit, because of the bronze. Also, heavy swordsman. I don't know enough Celtic/Lusotannan to make a guess at the unit name

    Not a reskin for sure.

  7. #7

    Default Re: Another New Unit - What is it?

    1. Celtberian Swordsman
    2. Lusotannan
    3. erm, Aymar de Bois Mauri? *he does the Iberian skins does he not?*

    Come on, daddy needs a new pair of shoes...

    Edit: Curse you Mithradates VI for posting it being iberian first, and curse my slow posting

    I KNOW IT! PICK ME!

    At least I think...

    I've been making EB general skins, and based on the small red circles:

    1: General?
    2: Pontus
    3: SPW (whoever that is...)

    I doubt it is the general, but whatever. The armor seems similar to the bodyguard skin he created "EBUNIT_SPW_EASTERN_EARLY_BODYGUARD_PONTIC.TGA"

    You are on to something there. Considering the fact that this guy will knock your socks off, when you see the model in question..!

    Hm, lets see...

    Bronze scale, bronze greaves, white cloak, richly ornamented long sword with round tip, oval/round shield, bronze phrygian style (???) helmet.


    Perhaps one eastern faction unit with a hellenic touch?


    1.Heavy Infantry (sort of noble footmen?)
    2.Saka Rauka
    3. a new guy

    1. Heavy swordsmen
    2. Pontus, (cause it looks a bit like the chalkaspidai and Saka has been mentioned three posts up, so I dont want to say that.)
    3. King Assurbanipal, cause he did a nice application to the team a while ago and might be new and popping out some nice new units and because this one is hard to guess, so no spartan warrior or spirit_of_rob.

    2)Saka-Rauka
    3) Aymaur? Spirit_of_Rob? Teleknos? i don't know this one...do I still get a prize if I'm right?

    -Gosh guys, two of you have gotten really close with the unit, but didn't hit it exactly.
    -Someone has guessed the faction (a few people really).
    -No one has named the artist. This will be the first unit of ours that he has done, but we have mentioned that he is on the team now, so Bavarian got the last part closest so far.

    Won't reveal it till that unit is guessed though. The hint is that exactly two people have guessed something really close but not exactly.

    Eastern? Hellan? no one really thinks this unit is not from Baktria (Bartix) instead of a barbarian nation?
